In a city that has a historic tradition of presenting great track & field, the best track meet since the 1970 Commonwealth Games. It seems fitting that the city that hosted Eric Liddell, Alf Shrubb, Jack Lovelock, and Horace Ashenfelter, has the GP, and then, in two weeks, the 2014 Commonwealth Games!
Great performances last night! Nice to see Nickel Ashmeade win the 100 meters. Hate to see Yohan Blake get injured, but we are hearing, that, so far, it has been described as a cramp!
A huge break through for Ashton Eaton, who took second in a stacked 400 meter hurdle race, running PB of 48.69 to Javier Culson’s 48.35!
